20、Gellert Grindelwald

　　1965年7月12日

　　Dumbledore—

　　邓布利多——

　　—well. Here we are again. Eight years now?

　　——好吧，我们又要开始通信了。现在距上次通信已经八年了？

　　The Voldemort brat wrote me declaring his oncoming glorious rule, soon to be Lord of All, Supreme Deathwump, etcetera, ad nauseum. I told him that casting too many Unforgivables at once shrinks one's wand. He'll go in circles for a while trying to figure that one out. Entertaining, I'm sure.

　　伏地魔那小子又给我写信了，宣布他那即将到来的伟大统治、不久就会成为一切的主宰了、至高无上的死亡圣使，诸如此类的废话，让我想吐。我告诉他一次性使用太多不可饶恕咒会让魔杖缩水的，他就真的做了一圈实验想验证这件事。我想这一定会很有意思。

　　I'm still not sure whether I remember, to be fair. What you said that day. Whether you said that, exactly. Though I am sure that you lied, when you answered, one way or another.

　　我还是不确定，说真的，你还记得吗？你那天说过什么。你是否真的说过那句话。不过，不论怎样，现在我可以确定，你回答我的时候说谎了。

　　Continuing to explore Muggle literature. Romantic poets dull. Tolkien entertaining. Lichen flourishing. Now know what you were getting at, comparing It to that Sampo-One-Ring idiotic myth complex. You are a right bastard, but I'd rather go back to marriage by owl than never hear from you again.

　　继续探索麻瓜文学。无聊的浪漫主义诗歌。托尔金还有点意思。地衣盛长。现在，把它（老魔杖）同那个傻乎乎、乱糟糟的神话故事中的那个魔戒相比之后，我终于知道你想说的是什么了。你确实是一个混账，但是比起永远收不到你的来信，我宁愿和你在猫头鹰的翅膀上结婚。

1.托尔金，指环王的作者。
